The dust on the door fell down, choking Su Xiaoxiao and making her cough repeatedly.
"It seems no one has been here for a long time."
Mu Yansong muttered and walked in slowly.
There was no light in the Lin family's old house, it was very dark.
With the help of the bright moonlight, the two people could barely see the general outline of the house.
The house has been abandoned for a long time.
The yard was full of fallen leaves, and when the wind blew, a small vortex formed on the ground.
"It's dark here, follow me closely!"
"Um."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and followed Mu Yansong closely.
The Lin family’s old house is very large, and most of it is hidden in the darkness of the night.
Humans are instinctively afraid of the unknown.
But Su Xiaoxiao had experienced too much in her previous life and did not take the current situation to heart.
The two people walked forward, their footsteps making a rustling sound on the leaves.
Across the yard is the main hall.
Mu Yansong raised his hand and pushed the wooden door, which opened.
But unlike outside, the tables, chairs and ornaments in the main room are neatly arranged.
Su Xiaoxiao reached out and touched the chair and found that there was not even a speck of dust on it.
The two people knew what this meant, looked at each other, and understood each other tacitly.
Mu Yansong fumbled around in the main room for a long time and finally found a candlestick.
Next to the candlestick, there was a small fire starter.
He lit the candlestick, and the main room instantly became bright.
Su Xiaoxiao looked around and found that the furnishings in the main room were very unique and the items were well preserved and looked like new.
She had just turned her gaze away when she caught a glimpse of a piece of white clothing in the corner.
She pretended not to notice and deliberately looked at Mu Yansong and asked, "Brother Asong, do you think the ghost they are talking about will appear tonight?"
"I think so." Mu Yansong knew Su Xiaoxiao's intention and nodded in agreement: "If she doesn't show up while we're here, it means she's not a fierce ghost, but a coward!"
"Brother Song, I...I'm a little scared!"
Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be scared and shrank behind Mu Yansong.
Mu Yansong reached out and gently rubbed her hair.
"I told you not to come, but you insisted on following me. I'm here to complete a mission assigned by my employer. As long as I can prove that there are no ghosts in this house, and my employer can sell it, I'll get a large sum of money. Look at you, following me here, aren't you getting in the way?"
"I...I'm worried about you being alone."
Su Xiaoxiao looked up at him and gently shook his arm.
Mu Yansong lowered his head to meet her eyes, and when he saw the fear in her eyes, he was panicked for a moment.
He knew that Su Xiaoxiao was pretending to be like this.
But for some reason, when he saw her pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but want to protect her behind him.
"Brother Song..."
Su Xiaoxiao's voice brought Mu Yansong back to his senses.
He quickly looked away and turned to look around.
"It seems that the person we met is really a coward. Since she won't come out, let's go find her."
"No...don't!" Su Xiaoxiao clutched the corner of his clothes tightly. "Brother Song, don't get me wrong. I'm not...scared at all. It's just that this house is so big. Where are we going to find her?"
"The employer said that the Lin family's daughter committed suicide by jumping into the lake. The entire Lin family was poisoned to death at the dinner table. Since there are no ghosts in the main hall, it means that the ghost is the Lin family's daughter. Let's go to the place where she jumped into the lake to look for her. If we can't find her, we can go and report back."
“Okay… okay!”
Su Xiaoxiao responded and walked out of the main hall, close to Mu Yansong.
The moment she stepped out of the main hall, Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the corner.
I found that the white piece of clothing had disappeared.
She calmly withdrew her gaze and continued to follow Mu Yansong towards the backyard.
The wind is very cool at night.
Su Xiaoxiao left Canglong Academy in such a hurry that she didn't bring any change of clothes with her.
She was wearing only a thin piece of clothing.
A gentle breeze blew, and goose bumps appeared on her arms.
"Brother Asong, I... I'm scared. Why don't we go back... back!"
When they arrived at the lake, Su Xiaoxiao gently pulled Mu Yansong's sleeve.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but the area around the lake is a bit darker than the yard.
Mu Yansong looked down at her and said in a feigned indifference, "If you're scared, go back by yourself and don't delay me from doing my work!"
"Brother Song is so fierce, I don't like him anymore, wuwuwu..."
Su Xiaoxiao let go of Mu Yansong's hand, took two steps back, turned around and ran away.
Mu Yansong did not chase her, but turned to look at the lake under the night sky.
"Where's the ghost? Come out!"
As his voice fell, the grass on the right suddenly rustled.
He turned his eyes and glanced towards the bushes.
But soon, he withdrew his gaze.
Su Xiaoxiao has short legs and can't run fast.
She had not been running for long when she suddenly heard a whimpering sound behind her.
She paused and turned to look behind her, but found that there was no one behind her.
"Brother Asong, is it... is it you?"
No one answered her.
There was silence all around, as if she was the only one left in the house.
She turned around and continued running towards the main hall. After just a few steps, the whimpering sound came closer to her.
“Wuwuwu…”
“Wuwuwu…”
The sobbing became clearer and clearer.
Su Xiaoxiao paused and covered her face with her hands.
Only a pair of eyeballs were exposed, staring around nervously.
“Wuwuwu…”
As the whimpering sound approached, a white figure suddenly appeared behind Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao seemed to have sensed something and turned to face the ghost that suddenly appeared.
The ghost had disheveled hair, and the black hair covered most of his face, making it impossible to see his features clearly.
Su Xiaoxiao only took a glance and matched the person in front of her with the person in the portrait.
She curled her lips and slowly lowered her arms.
"You finally showed up!"
The "ghost" in front of him felt a little confused when he saw the little girl in front of him change her fear and look at him with a smile.
But she soon convinced herself that the little girl must have been pretending.
She stretched out her arms and rushed towards Su Xiaoxiao crying.
I thought the little girl would be scared and run away.
But what she didn't expect was that the little girl suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"Sister Ghost, you brought this upon yourself, so I won't be polite!"
"You...you're not afraid of me?"
The female ghost was obviously startled.
He wanted to pull his hand back, but found that the other person was terrifyingly strong.
Before she could figure out what was going on, a young boy's voice suddenly came from behind her.
